If a black window with red letters has been opened on your screen, and it is no longer possible to open a bunch of files, Ransomuserlocker Ransomware must have entered your system. It is one of those nasty infections that encrypt files on users’ computers right away after infiltrating them. It is not a prevalent infection, but it might still enter your system one day without your knowledge.

What does Ransomuserlocker Ransomware do?
According to our specialists, it is very likely that Ransomuserlocker Ransomware targets a specific group of people primarily – those users who speak Korean. It is because the ransomware infection opens a window with a ransom note in this language after encrypting users’ personal files. Our researchers say that this infection should affect all popular formats of documents and pictures. When all these files are encrypted, you will also find a black window with a ransom note in red on your Desktop. Luckily, it does not lock the screen. This message tells users that they need to purchase 1 BTC and send it to cyber criminals behind the ransomware infection if they want to get their files back. Then, they need to send a personal ID to owerhacker@hotmail.com after making a payment. Users expect a decryption tool to be sent to them via email soon after they transfer the required money, but, to tell you the truth, there are no guarantees that cyber criminals will send it to them even if they receive the ransom. We can assure you that you will not get your money back either in case you do not receive the decryptor from crooks. Ransomware infections are one of the most harmful threats because they usually encrypt the most valuable files on users’ computers and, unfortunately, it is usually impossible to decrypt those affected files for free. Purchasing decryption software from cyber criminals is not what we recommend for users either.
Where does Ransomuserlocker Ransomware come from?
We cannot tell you much about the distribution of Ransomuserlocker Ransomware because it is not a popular infection. The only thing you should know is that this threat arrives on users’ computers illegally. In most cases, even though users usually do not know anything about the successful entrance of the ransomware infection, they often allow those threats to enter their systems themselves. For example, they often allow them to enter their computers by opening malicious attachments from spam emails. Users might download malicious applications from dubious websites too because they might pretend to be beneficial software. Cyber criminals might adopt other tactics to promote their creations too, so you might discover new untrustworthy software on your computer one day again if you do not do anything to ensure your system’s maximum protection today.
